A key growth area for Hardware Startups has been the Quantified Self movement. New sensors, protocols and interfaces are making it easier than ever for individuals to track and affect their personal stats on a daily basis. We will discuss what it takes to bring a QS product to market, and how developers must strike a balance between aesthetics, usability and functionality.

As part of Startup Week Vancouver (http://www.startupweekvancouver.ca/), we are holding our first meet-up mashup. Along with Vancouver's Hardware Startups (http://www.meetup.com/Hardware-Startups-Vancouver/) meet-up, we are excited to showcase new products by local teams. Both are in the midst of crowdfunding campaigns, so this is your chance for a first look at the products, to ask questions and show your support.

Come join us for a night of talks and discussion about the growing world of personal data tracking, sensors and enabling hardware.

Social and networking session will follow. Thanks to our new sponsor for the evening, the Vancouver Economic Commission (http://www.vancouvereconomic.com/). Drinks and snacks will be provided!

Our Speakers for the night include:

Kevin R. Hart - TZOA Wearable Enviro-Tracker (http://www.mytzoa.com/)

Sarah Goodman - iHeart Physiological Age System (http://www.iheartalive.com/)

More TBA (Please contact the organizers if you're interested in presenting.)

TZOA, Wearable Enviro-Tracker

You track your steps, calories, and weight, but how do you quantify your environment? TZOA is the first wearable enviro-tracker; a fashionable way to monitor air pollution and UV exposure, whether you want to improve your health, explore your surroundings, or understand the environment. TZOA’s air quality sensor was custom built: a state-of-the-art optical particle counter that fits in the palm of your hand.

TZOA is a community of change-makers that are helping to create a street-level air pollution map of Vancouver and the world. Imagine being able to identify the cleanest and dirtiest areas around us! Please join us as we discuss an exciting new device, your feedback and support are needed to make this a success.

The iHeart system measures aortic stiffness, a proven indicator of internal health. The device is a fingertip oximeter that connects via Bluetooth 4.0 to the user's iPhone or iPad loaded with the iHeart Physiological Age App. In a quick 30 second non-invasive test the user is provided with a number: their physiological age. With regular testing and positive lifestyle choices, the user can watch themselves get younger from the inside out. iHeart is a totally new way to monitor fitness and health.
